Having problems with your Kenmore 15129 Built-in Dishwasher ?

Not cleaning Fills up with water at the bottom. Just not spraying. I took off everything inside to clean it out. Down to the grinding wheel. Pump feels like it running.

Answers :

The water first gets pushed into the dishwasher from the water supply, then fills up until the float detects the water level, the water then gets drained into the sump pump and either drains to the plumbing or shoots up through the arm inside the dishwasher. Thats a basic cycle anyways. If it is draining into the sump pump like its supposed to, and not coming out through the arm, then something is blocking it or a solenoid/relay isnt working properly on the pump. If its not draining at all, which you would be able to hear if it were from the sucking or gargling sounds, then the same follows, just in different areas. I know its not to technical, just hoping to shed some more light on the situation.

I have a Bosch SHU43C05UC diswasher. Last night, I put it on before going to bed as usual. I was awakened a couple of hours later to a loud grinding sound (like a pump being run dry), and found the noise coming from the dishwasher. The display read "0" time remaining, so I opened the door and the dishes seemed clean, so I left it shut off.
Tonight I have been trying to troubleshoot the problem. The dishwasher will turn on, but it will not seem to fill with water. I have verified that the

My pressure washer starts fine, shoots water OK. After running for 5-10 minutes cleaning siding I shut off machine. I go to start it again within a minute or two and the thing feels like it's just about seized. If i wait until the motor is completely cool, it will pull start freely and start right up. I think something is wrong with the pump, not the engine.

Your pressure washer may not have an ez-start valve installed from the factory. Without the ezstart valve, you will need to hold the trigger on the wand open to release the pressure to easily start your engine. This link will show you wh ...

My GE Nautilus DW doesn't fully drain. When it is drained as much as it will it leaves water in the sump at the rear right. If you run the pump at that point, it sucks water out of the sump, but when you open the door and the pump stops water flows back into it. It seems like there is a check valve that isn't working. I have cleaned the sump and the screen which runs accross the rear. I also have taken the plunger out and cleaned it. Then I took the housing for the plugner off the bottom. I don'

GLD4050 DW won't pump out at any time during wash cycle. Removed lower arm, screen, etc. and washed and cleaned out everything. Removed drain hose and cleaned it out. Reinstalled and ran again. At no time during he cycle does the water pump out. HOWEVER, if I put my hand on the drain pump I can feel and hear the pump running as usual at the right times in the cycle. What else could be preventing the pump out? Thanks!

The pump that runs the cleaning wheels does not run. Hums but won;t run. Can,t get the spinner center cover off to remove the pump and inspect it.

I am a licensed plumber who installed a frigidaire fdb1o5rem1 dishwasher for a customer about 2 years ago. It has water to the solenoid valve and the screen is clean. I can see water coming in to the unit on left side through the port hole on the inside of the unit. Dishes do not get clean and it doesnt act like water is being distrubuted inside the dishwasher. Soap never gets washed away from door. Dishwasher makes funny sound in mid cycle like the pump is not running in wash cycle. Discharge p

I can see from what you have described (by the way it is a very clear and precise description which is very helpful), there is a problem in the water circulation system. These dishwashers use an alternating water flow method to split the water circul ...

Asko 1353 dishwasher is no longer cleaning. It cycles and runs but make a tremendous amount of noise, like the pump isn't working properly. If I open it while it's running I done see the same amount of water being sprayed from the two spinning jet arms. There's 'some' water being sprayed but nowhere near as much as before.

The water is pumped out after the rinse cycle then it continues to run and make an unusual noise but nothing happens. The noise is almost a grinding sound. There is also a smell like some part may be hot or the wiring may be hot. I can reset the dishwasher and re-run the cycle up until that same point and it does the same thing again. I have had a repairman out twice in the last six months. The first time he could find nothing wrong because the problem was intermittent and he couldn't see anythi

Machine just started leaving dirty water in bottom of machine. cleaned filters,had machine apart,removed and cleaned waste pipe. pump runs and impeller feels ok.only time i could get any water to drain into bucket was when shook waste pipe very hard?

Check that the pump is clean and not loose. Make sure pump, impeller, and waste pipe are in alignment with each other and are clean. If it works when you shake the pipe, then there is still a clog inside or the pipes aren't aligned correctly and some ...

GU980 dishwasher I have a buzzing sound when the washer is in drain mode. The manual indicates there might be something in the Power Clean Filter, and that it will go away when the object grinds up. I called Whirpool, and they said the same, and to run for 2-3 cycles to make go away. 2-3 cyles later, noise is still there. I noticed a nub off the rack that looks like an end peice of metal broke off from rust. My guess is it's stuck in the PCF, and will not grind up. I removed the nut, lower spray

Hobart LX30 Thank you for your help earlier. I figured out a way to get the machine running on 220. Now my problem is finding the intake for the sanitizer and detergent. I have looked all over the machine and I cant find tubes anywhere. The guy I bought it off of tells me that when the water temp is over 170 you don't need any cleaning products. I just want a second opinion. I feel that our glassware is not as clean as we would like. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the direction your seller is leading you. I assume this machine is installed in some type of place where you are serving food to the public. If this is the case, then the local health inspector will expect to see a w ...

The pump is running, but the water is not flowing as you might expect. I believe the pump may have debri somewhere, and I would like to clean it out, but can not remove the lower arm. It has a flat plastic wing nut, that I do not not want to break off.

My 1375 is leaking a bit, looks like the seal which was mentioned in the impeller repair case,may be the problem? The other problem I noted was a clogged screen at the bottom of the dishwasher which is on the suction side of the pump, the screen had calcium buildup etc. I cleaned it off with vinigar and reran the dishwasher seemed ot fix th

Hi there,
Ok, i think i'm getting close to solving this problem. I have an LG dishwasher- Model # LDS 5811ST. I have stripped it down and clean all hoses etc. It is running fine through all the cycles. The only problem is that it has no water pressure. In other words water is pumping into the dishwasher but it's like there is no pressure behind it to force it through the holes in the propellers so it's just kind of dumping water out as opposed to having any forced pressure. Hope this makes se

I have a portable Sears dishwasher model # 66517769k600.
It makes grinding noises when empying out the water, then stops. Sounds like maybe something is jaming the inpeller blades on the pump that removes the water as Water is left in dishwasher. It will restart in about 15 mins , run for 15 to 20 sec and stop again with same noises.
What needs to be done to fix this issue?
Approximate cost of part?
Thanks in Advance,

When I switch my karcher k4.97 washer on it just sits and pulsates(on off on off etc.)When I squeeze the trigger it runs perfect,but emits a very low pressure.Then when I release the trigger it reverts back to pulsating. I have tried the popular fixes like cleaning lances,filters,making sure its not airlocked etc.I have even fitted new parts(seals to the pump etc).There are no leaks what so ever.

White dots It seems no matter what detergent I use, when the dishwasher is done...there are white dots on the dishes. They feel like soap,but, this happens even with liquid detergent. I can't figure it out. I even tried cleaning the dishwasher with the product you run in it without dishes. The problem is still there. HELP!

The dishwasher doesn't seem to have nearly enough water in it. The upper sprayer arm doesn't seem to be spinning when running (I open the door and look really quick) and the lower one looks like it barely spins and barely sprays water. The dishes are barely wet and the soap is just laying on the bottom. The water is on, there are no kinks in the supply line. It sounds like it is running, and pumps pumping, but being brand new I am not sure what it should sound like. It certainly doesn't sound li
